While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Yeah, when my brother-in-law arrives, I'll invite him over so he can meet us guys."

Zhang Hao was being polite, but he didn't really intend to do it. If he let Qin Xiao drink with these people, Zhang Qian would beat him to death later.

"Hehe, that's great. Young Master Qin almost never hangs out with people like us."

Luo Bin chuckled twice and said.

"Alright, guys, that's all for now. There are a few other tables over there; I need to hurry over and have a few drinks with them so I can find some time to pick up my brother-in-law!"

Zhang Hao didn't want to spend any more time with these people, so he made up an excuse.

"Haha, okay, Young Master Zhang, go ahead. You're a really busy man today. From now on, we brothers will have nowhere to go but to come to Young Master Zhang's place for entertainment."

Luo Bin's complexion had returned to normal, and he smiled as he spoke to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, it's a deal then. As long as you guys come over, I'll give you all a 30% discount on drinks."

Zhang Hao responded with a beaming smile.

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Young Master Zhang."

Luo Bin smiled and thanked him.

Zhang Hao drank another glass of wine, then said goodbye to the others and left the private room.

After Zhang Hao left and the door to the private room was closed, the smile on Luo Bin's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

"Pah! What the hell? Giving us a 30% discount? We're just after his money! Does Zhang Hao really think he's something special?"

Aside from Luo Bin, among the other young men who were on good terms with him, one with gray-dyed hair threw a wine bottle on the table, spat, and cursed coldly.

"Exactly! If it weren't for her getting involved with the Qin family, that little brat wouldn't even have the right to talk to us!"

Another young man with an earring scoffed.

"That's enough!"

Luo Bin's face darkened further. He turned to the young man with the earring next to him and said, "Feng Hui, it's fine to talk badly about Zhang Hao behind his back, but watch your mouth and don't drag his sister into this. We can ignore the Zhang family, but if it gets to the ears of that guy in the Qin family and he finds out you're gossiping about his wife, I can't protect you!"

Upon hearing this, the young master named Feng Hui immediately realized what was happening and his expression changed.

"Young Master Luo, Feng Hui just didn't like Zhang Hao and acted impulsively. By the way, since that person from the Qin family is coming, should we still proceed with our plan?"

The gray-haired youth offered Feng Hui some words of comfort and then asked a question.

"Forget it. If that Qin family member isn't here, it's no big deal to cause trouble for Zhang Hao. But that Qin family member isn't someone to be trifled with. If we get caught, we'll be in trouble. Pang Fei, go tell Zhao Kun and the others that the operation is canceled."

Luo Bin gritted his teeth and said somewhat unwillingly.

"Fine, damn it, Zhang Hao got a good deal!"

The gray-haired youth, Pang Fei, whom Luo Bin had mentioned, stood up, pushed open the door, and went out.

The Zhao Kun they were referring to was a thug they had specifically hired. They gave him 50,000 yuan to prepare several bottles of fake liquor, order the same type of drinks, and then switch them. Halfway through the drink, they would then accuse Zhang Hao of selling fake liquor at his bar.

While such petty tricks might not cause Zhang Hao significant damage, they could certainly annoy him and make him look bad in the industry.

Even if Zhang Hao finds out later that they were the ones who instructed him, as long as they don't admit it, Zhang Hao will have to suffer in silence.

But now that the Qin family member is coming over, we can't do that anymore.

Zhang Hao would be mindful of maintaining a facade of harmony within their circle, but the Qin family member didn't mingle in their second-generation circle at all, so he wouldn't have so many reservations.

If things go wrong, it will only make them lose face.

After Pang Fei left, the people in the private room continued drinking.

However, since they failed to embarrass Zhang Hao, the drinking mood of everyone in the private room immediately cooled down considerably.

About ten minutes passed, and Pang Fei still hadn't returned.

"What happened? Why was Pang Fei gone for so long? Did he sneak off to the bathroom with some girl?"

Some people joked.

"That won't take more than ten minutes!"

Luo Bin continued, picking up where he left off.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Hey, when it comes to women, it has to be that one from the Meng family. It's a pity that Young Master Su took a liking to her, otherwise I would really like to find a chance to get her."

For some reason, someone thought of Meng Qingyao, and a wicked glint appeared in their eyes.

"Young Master Su? Heh, you guys don't know yet, do you? Young Master Su's boyfriend has been poached!"

At this moment, Feng Hui spoke again, revealing a gossipy expression.

"Um?"

These words immediately drew the attention of the others in the private room.

"Feng Hui, what do you mean?"

Luo Bin looked up, frowned, and asked.

"Young Master Bin, you don't know? Aren't you very familiar with Young Master Su?"

Feng Hui looked at Luo Bin with some surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense. Even if I'm close to Young Master Su, it's impossible for him to tell me everything!"

Luo Bin said in a deep voice.

When the Su family was secretly supporting the Luo family in their gray-market activities, Su Mingxuan had to fawn over them.

But now the situation has changed. Everyone knows that the Su family has unlimited potential and will reach unknown heights in the future. Therefore, Luo Bin's father, Luo Shenghai, specifically instructed him to recognize the current situation, put aside his previous arrogance, and build a good relationship with Su Mingxuan to pave the way for the future.

Luo Bin wasn't stupid, so he naturally did as he was told. With his shrewdness, it wouldn't be difficult for him to build a good relationship with Su Mingxuan. So, for the past two years, everyone in the second-generation elite circles knew that Luo Bin and Su Mingxuan had the best relationship.

Now that he hears about things related to Su Mingxuan, he naturally pays special attention, perhaps seeing it as another opportunity to gain favor with Su Mingxuan.

"Hehe, Young Master Bin, I heard it from my sister today too. Meng Qingyao actually ignored the marriage alliance between the Meng and Su families and married another man!"

Feng Hui chuckled.

"Holy crap, really? He even dares to steal Su Shao's girl? Who's that guy? Is there such a person in Minghai City?"

"Yes, if the Qin family member wasn't married, it might be possible! But the Qin family member has already married Zhang Qian. Who in Minghai City would have such audacity?"

The other young people then spoke up.

"Feng Hui, how did your sister find out about this?"

Luo Bin looked at Feng Hui with a puzzled expression.

"Young Master Bin, have you forgotten? My sister and Meng Qingyao were college classmates. My sister even had a conflict with Meng Qingyao when she was about to graduate. Although they didn't get along, they didn't delete each other's contact information. Meng Qingyao posted her marriage certificate with that man on her WeChat Moments."

Feng Hui said.

"Hui Zi, do you know who this guy is?"

A short, chubby young man standing nearby said.

"Hehe, my sister had someone investigate, and guess what? Someone in Minghai City actually saw that guy! They saw him frequently collecting and selling scrap metal at a junkyard in the suburbs, looking sickly, like he was about to die!"

Feng Hui couldn't help but laugh out loud after he finished speaking.
